Consumer Description

MY 2005 AVALON WITH LESS THAT 40,000 MILES -STILL UNDER WARRANTY -WITHOUT ANY WARNING FROM DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGAN TO LOSE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY-THEN IT SHUT DOWN-I MANAGED TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. TOYOTA HAD THE CAR FOR OVER THREE MONTHS-COULD NOT TELL WHAT CAUSED THIS BUT IT MELTED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BUT THEY WOULD NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TOWARD REPLACING IT. I HAD TO CALL TOYOTA TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE TOWING. I HAD TO DEMAND A COPY OF THE 10 PAGE REPAIR BILL. *TR
